I'm sure it's been brought up already but I got the Brew Matric in the Retro dial during the last restock and it's so good. The quality/style ratio to price is excellent. 36mm and quartz. which are both what I love. It's much smaller and feels more intricate in person (aka, you would never, ever be able to read the minutes on the chronograph). But it's got heft and a sapphire crystal so it feels as premium as I'd ever need.

I couldn't figure out what I found so appealing about it but I think it's the lack of branding. The only branding of any kind on the face is an embossed coffee bean that is invisible unless under direct light. I love it.

It looks like each hand came from a different set.

That’s a nice looking bit of kit but I always wonder why they do a fifty fifty split on a dive bezel like that? The colours are nice but to what purpose? The design of a chunky tool watch usually has a form follows function utility but I don’t get what purpose of that is.
